Hi Ryan, like @Nathan Gesner mentioned, it's important to be selective when choosing people to partner with. 

If you're looking to buy a cheap property there, be very careful. 

For perspective, outside of SF you can easily get a place to rent for 2500 or so, figure another 1500 for day care.

Utilities altogether is about $250 a month, internet is $90 a month for the 1T fiber (we want fast internet for 6 people), 5% vacancy, Lawn care $120 a month, Pest control $30 a month, and we do bi-weekly cleaning of the common area at $200 a month.

You've clearly put a lot into it, you clearly cared, so why build it all just to off-load.

Lightbulbs, batteries in smoke detectors is on them and written in the lease.You can really do whatever you want if it is written in the lease contract but bear in mind they don't own the home and won't care on certain things.

Although I care less about my financial loss, what upsets me is their manipulative conducts.

It has caused problems not just with housing, but health care.

You should pay them an hourly rate for all of this.After all, there’s no guarantee that you will even end up buying a property or selecting them as your cohost.

@Cameron Porter +95% of the land bank inventory is already picked over by the time it hits the public.The only people we know that have bought ALL went over budget and only the increasing market covered what would have been losses.So, proceed VERY carefully!
